Can I reuse 'Hide My Email' addresses across different accounts?

If I’m not provided with the option to “Hide My Email” when creating an account, would I be able to use a “Hide My Email” address that was generated when registering for a completely different site/domain?

No, that’s not what I meant. Sorry if it wasn’t clear. What I’m asking is if I can reuse the “hide my email” address that was generated when I registered with CNN, for example, for now when I’m registering with Amazon, assuming that I’m not offered the option to use a newly generated “hide my email” address. In both instances the Apple ID is the same.

Yes. That is an option. But, I would recommend creating a new alias for any another account. It would prevent tracking.

Moving Hide my Email to Anther Apple ID:

No. You cannot directly move your Hide My Email addresses to another Apple ID. You would need to deactivate them on your current Apple ID and then create new ones under the new Apple ID.
